(Voting Period) We can't determine by one simple outcome; the effect that its going to have on the population.
When people say things like
"is _____ music a bad influence on _____"
"does video games cause more harm than good"
We can not simply base on the effects of others as it may effect us differently.
Everyone matures at a different rate
Everyone has a different thought process
Everyone reacts differently to different actionshttp://www.debate.org/debates/Every-action-in-life-effects-everyone-differently/1/comments/2011-04-05T19:59:28-08:00Pet Chain Stores are the cause for invasive specieshttp://www.debate.org/debates/Pet-Chain-Stores-are-the-cause-for-invasive-species/1/
(Voting Period) I believe that the aquarium trade has done more harm to our waters than invasive species being brought in through ship ballast tanks.
We owe most of our problems to top pet stores such as Petsmart, Petco, and PetSuperMarket. How? Under educated staff, profit, and misinformed customers.
Most of our problems originate at the store even before they are brought home. Often people are not informed or misinformed about the fish when they purchase it. Top Pet stores will tell you about anything to sell off the fish. Most staff are under trained and usually don't know anything about the department they work in. They themselves are just learning about the fish. Example: Pacu get up to 33" but most chained pet stores will sell them to people who have ten gallon aquariums, and the Pacu quickly out grow them in less than a few months.
Although the main problem starts from the fish being sold, the problem that leads to the game fish to start to go missing lies in thhttp://www.debate.org/debates/Pet-Chain-Stores-are-the-cause-for-invasive-species/1/comments/2011-04-10T00:10:48-08:00Marijuana should be legalizedhttp://www.debate.org/debates/Marijuana-should-be-legalized/6/
(Voting Period) Marijuana is classified as a drug. With the word "drug" used many people refer to it as harmful. The truth is many people place opinions on things that they have never tried or researched. Don't ditch ideas; till you know both sides. Its like ditching all other religions with out really researching all of them.
Pro Points -
Marijuana is less harmful than alcohol
Marijuana is simply a plant; not a chemically created substance
Marijuana effects people differently (positively/ negatively)
Does not harm the liver or other organs- Maybe lungs but not enough research has been put into marijuana
The majority of people living in medically legal states are abusing the law anyways
Works as a natural pain reliever
Christan View- God made everything on earth; and with that he created this plant
(I am not any particular religion, so I do not base upon religion views)
As far as work views it should be something that should be removed from a drug test. But http://www.debate.org/debates/Marijuana-should-be-legalized/6/comments/2011-04-15T23:07:33-08:00
